From around 1400 to 1775 around 100,000 women, men, and some children, we executed for the crime of witchcraft.
Your prompt is BURNING TIMES.
Thou shalt not permit
A witch to live. Our bodies
Returned to the earth
The reasons are complicated, but fear and horrific living conditions bear some of the burden.
Hair burns and skin cracks;
Eyes glaze, rendered fat sizzles.
Burn, witch, burn in Hell!
Long live the witches!
